I love pigeons so he'd be living the dream if I was around. I have so many pictures of pigeons saved on my phone
This was the silly little fella I met on Friday:
How about these beauties
Absolutely stunning 😍
Or this white pigeon
These are all gorgeous! Are they domestic or feral? They don't fit the most common pigeon coloration I see in feral pigeons in the US, but I definitely have seen some feral pigeons with extremely unique coloration and it's always so cool. (Though every single pigeon, no matter how "common," is beautiful in my eyes. Unironically, they are one of my favorite birds.) Also, you might be from the UK or something, and I don't know much about the state of pigeons there, or if you have any truly wild pigeons vs. feral ones.
All feral. There's a flock of 30 that are regulars on my street. Most are standard rock pigeons and a few wood pigeons.
Very cool!
